Welcome to the English media, Mr Mudryk. Remember that TikTok video you made in a foreign language last year...
It’s not a great look but this is an Eastern European boy who likes rap music. It’s not like he’s the captain of Chelsea saying the words “f***ing black c***” on a football pitch to a fellow professional.
And it’s also rather important that Mudryk has apologised and removed the video. Oddly, this is not mentioned on the front page of“Mykhailo is deeply sorry for any offence caused by the video posted on his TikTok account last July. Whilst his intention was solely to recite lyrics of a song, Mykhailo regrets his decision and wholeheartedly accepts it was not appropriate. The video has since been removed.
The newspaper is claiming an ‘EXCLUSIVE’ on the ‘FURY ABOUT ACE’ before saying Mudryk has been ‘slammed’ and ‘blasted’ by campaigners, but this is the entirety of the statement from Kick It Out:“The N-word is deeply offensive and the use of this term by high-profile figures in football can only serve to alienate people from the game.
“It is important that footballers use their significant platform in a positive way, and we’re encouraged to see that Mykhailo Mudryk has acknowledged the hurt caused by his use of this offensive slur.” Not a ‘slam’. Not a ‘blast’. Just a measured statement that acknowledges that Mudryk has apologised. Which is more than The Sun manage on a ludicrous front page designed purely to distract.; it’s a video in which a young man raps a lyric which contains a racial slur. There is a massive difference.
